The washing machine of the present invention comprises: a cabinet; a drum installed inside the cabinet; and a fan assembly for inducing heated air into the drum. The fan assembly includes: a shroud having an air inflow hole formed therein; a hub rotated by a driving motor; a plurality of blades provided in a circumferential direction of the hub to guide air introduced through the air inflow hole in the circumferential direction of the hub; and a scroll having a barrier for guiding the air guided in the circumferential direction of the hub into the drum and preventing the air guided in the circumferential direction of the hub from being re-introduced into the air inflow hole. The blade includes a shroud contact part which is in contact with the shroud, and a hub contact part which is in contact with the hub. An inflection point is formed between the shroud contact part and the hub contact part.
